    Republicans cheated in the 2004 election

    the floor under the legitimacy of their alleged election to the White House is crumbling.

    It’s stunning, but it seems that the result of both the 2000 and the 2004 presidential elections were illegitimate. George Bush should never have made it into the White House.

    None Dare Call It Stolen (Harpers.org)

    This democracy can survive a plot to hijack an election. What it cannot survive is our indifference to, or unawareness of, the evidence that such a plot has succeeded.

    Preserving Democracy describes three phases of Republican chicanery: the run-up to the election, the election itself, and the post-election cover-up.

    A florida programmer who claims to have coded prototype voting software with secret built in vote altering functions (give the party of your choice 51%) comes out about it. But who believes what they hear on the internet? I sure hope I could believe this…

    Did Bush win? Bush could not have won. Take Florida or Ohio. A switch of either would change the outcome. In reality Bush probably lost both.

    What can we do about it? Not only has another election been stolen but our democracy is now gone. The machines decide, not the voters. First and foremost, we must insist that the machine be replaced by machines that can be verified vote for vote. Integrity of the vote is paramount to democracy. The breakdown of trust in the system will rob this country of any legitimacy. We must force out of office any Republicans that have been benefited by this betrayal.
